Bernie and AOC Coming to Auburn California- Tuesday.


Bernie’s coming to Auburn on Tuesday, April 15, and you’re invited! He’ll be speaking alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about how our movement can come together to take on the Oligarchy and demand a government that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few.

This is going to be a great event, and we’d love to see you there. So, can you make it? Here’s everything you need to know:

AOC and Oligarchy

I am here to remind you all: we are not powerless in this moment.

People are starting to put the pieces together, 

And that’s important, because the same billionaires that are taking a wrecking ball to our country specialize in getting working people to turn on one another.

The right’s entire political agenda: lie to and screw over working and middle class Americans; steal our healthcare, social security, and veterans benefits; cut taxes for the wealthy and bail out for their crypto billionaire friends.

I understand that this disdain for working people, by some of the most powerful people in this country, doesn’t just come from them not being raised right.

There’s a word for this kind of thing: corruption.

I understand what it feels like to watch all of this stack up. When the system is stacked against you, it’s hard to feel like anything you do matters.

I can tell you: when I was waitressing, and struggling to put food on the table, for a while there, I tried to keep my head down, work my shifts, and accept that this is just how things are.

But that’s no way to live.

Ehrenreich, Hightower, Cohen Speak at DSA Bernie Rally.

by Kurt Stand,
Over 100 people attended Metro DC DSA’s “We Need Bernie” rally on Thursday, Oct. 24 in support of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign for president.   Held at Busboys and Poets’ 5th and K Street location, the event provided an example of the depth of support for Sanders and for a genuinely progressive agenda rooted in civic activism. The rally also highlighted the relevance of democratic socialism to building a political alternative for our country.
The first speaker, Andy Shallal – owner of Busboys and Poets, peace activist and former DC mayoral candidate – raised the need to do more than just build support for Sanders, arguing that we ought to use his campaign to build a movement of direct action and public engagement that challenges the injustices everywhere visible in our society. Shallal also noted the need to address and overcome one of the critical weaknesses of Sanders’s campaign: the fact that it still has not developed sufficient support in communities of color, a fact emphasized by the overwhelmingly white composition of the crowd (which stood in contrast to most of the progressive forums held at Busboys).  He stressed that this should not serve as an excuse to withdraw from supporting Sanders, but rather should serve as a reminder to incorporate the message of Black Lives Matter in all work on behalf of his campaign, to address the issue of racism in its specificity – that (as he put it during the Q & A) is, understanding black and white as political categories.  By beginning the program in this fashion, Shallal underlined the seriousness of the rally, this event being more than a cheering session for Sanders (though indeed it was that too) but also a discussion of what is to be done, how to continue the organizing.
